Topeka West's Lenny Njoroge (No. 1633) is the 2019 Kansas MileSplit Newcomer of the Year


First things first: There are a lot of cross country runners in Kansas who deserve recognition. So anytime you put together all-state lists, there will be some who may feel slighted.

Kansas MileSplit's All-State Cross Country teams for 2019 represent many of the top Kansas runners, some of whom won state titles, some who placed very high at the state meets, and some who had the top times in the state.

Many others we named to this year's teams were selected just based on their toughness - that's what cross country is about, after all. And some had positive momentum at the end of the season, while others were selected based on their entire body of work - meaning, they had a very good 2019 season but maybe didn't finish it off at state as they would have hoped.

All of these runners symbolize what is great about cross country - hard work, pride and solid character.

This yea...
